Brenda?s Bible appears as Kinsel?s star is rising nationwide. Her presentations at women?s events, exclusive boutiques, and large retail stores such as Nordstrom, Macy?s and Marshall Field?s draw large, enthusiastic crowds.

Whimsically illustrated in vivid color Brenda?s Bible is the answer to all your fashion prayers. And, as always, Brenda?s mission is to champion a woman?s right to express herself beautifully at any size, age, or income level, and to feel heavenly getting dressed every day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cute & entertaining, not very useful, February 17, 2005

This review is from: Brenda's Bible: Escape Fashion Hell and Experience Heaven Every Time You Get Dressed (Hardcover)

I expected more from this book, but it's really little more than a "greeting card" sort of book- full of cute drawings and cute little sayings encouraging women to feel good about themselves and wear what they really like. No revelations about fashion, body type, or style, and actually very little of any substance. Nothing that a woman with an ounce of common sense hasn't already figured out. You get more actual fashion advice from the average Oprah magazine.
(And oh by the way, when Eleanor Roosevelt said "You must do the thing you think you cannot do", I doubt she was talking about trying on tops.)
In a nutshell- don't buy this book! Borrow it from the library or from a friend, read it (takes about a half hour), and then return it, congratulating yourself that you didn't spend money on it.

This review is from: Brenda's Bible: Escape Fashion Hell and Experience Heaven Every Time You Get Dressed (Hardcover)

This book attempts to be cute with its'"I saw the fashion light"theme but in reality it is only annoying(like having prosletyzers at your door). That said,it offers very little information that would not fit on the back of a postcard.A great deal of trite stuff about loving yourself and cleaning out your closet.A waste of money
